Re: Square Four oilways - a new way to block them

You were lucky.

Scrupulous cleaning saved a wrecked engine.

Re: New member - looking for spares.

When you get to the brakes, it might be worth getting the drums skimmed.

I would expect the braking surfaces to be a 'little out of round' by now.

Existing shoes can be re-lined by Villiers Services.

Every little helps..... :)

Re: 1939 VG for sale great character

Borrow it to use to ride to the Slovak Rally and then decide whether or not you have given it an adequate test run, and you should or should not buy it. :D :D

Re: seager eng

Agree.

They overhauled my NH head a couple of years ago.

Lead free valve seats,
Valves, springs,
Bead/Vapour blast,
Skimmed head ensuring that the counterbore was sitting on the liner spigot (I gave then the dimensions for the 'gap' required).

Recommended.

Re: Upcoming auction in Goole - two 1930s Ariel singles

I'm liking the 1932 Ariel VH 32, Red Hunter project, 350cc.

Just looking at the logistics of getting to this auction.

Estimate seems a bit on the low side?

Roger.
Can you fill in any details from the reg no. and engine no?

Re: MK1 help needed plain bearings

Cotterell Engineering.

That name rings a bell.

Where are they located?
